Finally, a rainstorm yesterday afternoon. Rainfall total, lower left of display. WooHoo, was worth a party I think.

Three summers here... Yeah, basically, And not much moisture of any kind this past winter either. Hey Bruce, I lost track of that thread. Did your campsite make it through the fire?

It has so far, but if that enormous Dixie Fire gets pushed east hard it could move the 15-20 miles east and meet up with the west edge of the Beckworth Complex burn, wiping us out. It's been a brutal fire season with the long drought and 17 solid days of triple digit temps. It could run well into November with the continued drought. Just yesterday two couples and good friends of ours went back home to Topaz Ranch after evacuating last Thursday from the Tamarack fire. We went over with trucks and helped them evacuate to our place.

A light drizzle yesterday AM. Just enough to keep the dust on the roads and leave a nice scent from the trees.

You guys out on the west coast obviously don't wash cars or leave the windows down.
Don't be the darkness.

Well crap L2S, still looking somewhat dire then.
Let's pray for some moisture over that way. And temps to drop. No 100 degree days in our forecast for the next week, a very welcome relief. 90 something today was hot enough.
Good luck with the camp.

It's been a cooker Geno.
Mid 90's here for the next week, a welcome relief from the 100's.
At least when everything is so far gone you quit hoping for a saving rain.
No big let down, if you know what I mean.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean.
Not in the same way as a guy in your shoes, but I know.
We're just hoping the well doesn't slow down much before the rain/snow comes.

The two passenger cars even got waxed this past month, so there. So they're clean, but sometimes that is not enough. You must be keeping the windows rolled up.

We got a quarter inch at the fish farm around 3 today, nothing five miles up the road at the house. Canal water runs out this week; if we don’t get rain, no third cutting or Fall graze on the fields that rely on the canal company water. Most guys are complaining they are barely getting half their normal hay yields, unless they flood. Lots of cows being sold.
But, chance of rain for four out of the next six days, and temps in the high 70’s and low 80’s. Might not help much, but can’t hurt much, either.

When one lives 15 miles from town, surrounded on three sides by public lands, and an open lot on the street side, one leaves the windows up to keep the mice and packrats out. I even have to put hardware cloth in the air box intake to keep them from nesting in the air filter.

My neighbor's first cut of alfalfa looked really crappy. He generally relies on winter and spring moisture before he turns on the pivot. He looks to have had a decent second cut. All the dryland hay fields around here looked really weak before cutting. I'm thinking the guys with water rights to the Pit and the pivot folks will make some money this year. Big pivot operation over the ridge at Alturas Ranches is the one my neighbor thinks impacts our aquifer. And with no rain, I'm sure those folks are pumping like mad. Good luck with getting some rain over there.

Sam, As you know we head up here for the cool summers. That said it looks like staying in the Hill Country of Texas would have been a better option weather wise. Otherwise, not. The heeler pup is loving the water.
